    I haven't drank since I started two weeks ago .. needless calories in my opinion. With that being said, I'm on vacation on August 2 and there will be drinking involved, I'm sure! If I'm going "health concious" it's Vodka, Soda water and Cranberry juice. Mojito's are also on my list ;)

    Water, Unsweet Tea, or Diet Pepsi but normally I am not out past 10pm. I can not hang with my friends who party all night anymore. I need my eight hours of sleep or as close as I can get to 8 hrs.

    I like Bahama Mama's, Sex on the beach, that kind of stuff (the fruity drinks). When I go out during the day, it is either water or ice tea. I drink water here at work all day.

    seltzer or unsweetened iced tea- liked the idea of ice and lemon to keep it ambiguous :)
    occasionally 1 glass of red wine

    Ice Tea (No Sugar), I like the caffeine but living in the South (Land of Sweet Tea) I have found that Sweet Tea is like drinking Syrup.

    If we're talking alcohol my true love is Kalhua and milk ... sooooo good.

    However I normally order vokda with diet sprite and a splash of cranberry juice ...

    Breakfast - water and coffee
    Lunch - water
    Dinner - if I am behaving, a diet soda or water...if I'm not behaving, lots of alcohol

    Water. And if I want something buzzy like at a bar, I guess I'll get like a bud light with lime, or a hienkin beer. Maybe wine depending on the type of place. Cus I'm boring.

    A wine spritzer. After a few of those I cave in and order vodka diet coke or 2.
    Shots are usually involved too, and I drink jager because I can deal with the taste.
    If I'm at work (I'm a bartender) I can make myself shots of water or coke so noone knows I'm not drinking, but when I'm out I'm out.

    It depends on the type of night out I'm having, if I decide to go for a soft drink it's usually soda water and lime (preferably fresh lime rather than cordial). If I'm going out for a few drinks, I either drink vodka, soda and liime or gin and slim line tonic.

    I'm not a big drinker but one of my favorite patio restaurants has the best blue agave margaritas. Other than that, water or unsweetened tea with loads of lemon.

    When I go out it usually depends on what is going on and my mood. I usually order water with lemon with a wide range of drinks. I am a rum or whiskey drinker which I normally just get on the rocks or it is a double with coke. Sailor Jerry is my favorite along with Captain Morgan, Jack Daniels and Jack Daniels Honey. If I go to Santa Fe steakhouse I will get several Redneck Teas and if Kayla is working the bar that night, she amps it up for me.

    I just drink. I also have a life outside of health and fitness. Everything is not health and fitness. All drinks are between 100 and 200 calories. So, just order a beer and relax. Relaxing, having a beer, and socializing is OK.

    Well said!

    If I know I'll be going out, I try to have ~300 calories set aside for a couple of good craft beers (I wouldn't waste the calories on "light" or mass produced beer ;)

    If I'm not drinking alcohol, my default is unsweetened iced tea with lemon, or sometimes club soda with lime.

    I avoid sugary soda and diet soda like the plague (unless there's rum in it...)

    Hmmm, interesting question. When in restaurant I usually order unsweetened tea, on top of purified water. But in terms of alcoholic bevs, i prefer gilbey's premium with green tea extract. yes, guilty!

    When I go "out", I order beer. And I like to try one that I've never had before. I'm going to a place that has a big selection of different craft beers on Thursday with a friend and I'm real excited about it.

    Gin and tonic with lime is my drink of choice, preferably with Hendrick's. But I do love to experiment. :drinker:

    I used to only drink Bud Light until my brother forced me to try different beers a couple years ago. Now I can hardly stomach Bud Light. If I'm going to drink beer, I want real beer.

    I generally leave drinking to when I'm home, and that is usually wine with my wife ... alcohol gets me off my game and I often regret eating too much afterwards ... don't get me wrong, I love to celebrate and enjoy the treats and meals ... just not on a regular basis ... thus when I'm out, it's usually diet soft drinks these days ...
